The WNBA has officially unveiled the participants for the 2025 Kia Skills Challenge, and this year’s lineup promises a thrilling showdown featuring a mix of seasoned veterans and dynamic playmakers.
Natasha Cloud of the New York Liberty will be making her Skills Challenge debut, bringing her trademark intensity and court vision to the timed obstacle course.
Joining her is Skylar Diggins of the Seattle Storm, an 11-year veteran known for her elite playmaking and ability to perform under pressure.
Reigning champion Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream returns to defend her title after an unforgettable showing in 2024, where she claimed both the Skills Challenge and the STARRY 3-Point Contest titles.

Erica Wheeler, also representing the Storm, brings a decade of experience and the kind of on-court creativity that fits perfectly with the format.
Rounding out the field is Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams, whose speed and flair make her a perennial crowd favorite in events like this.
The competition, scheduled for Friday, July 18 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, is a central feature of the AT\&T WNBA All-Star Weekend.
Players will race through an obstacle course that tests their dribbling, passing, shooting, and movement. The two fastest players from the opening round will advance to the final, where the champion will be decided in a head-to-head duel.
Allisha Gray will look to cement her dominance in the event, while the likes of Cloud and Diggins will be eager to make a mark in their first appearance.
